“My dog doesn’t bite, it doesn’t need a muzzle.”
Think again. 👀

Muzzle training isn’t just for dogs with bite risk—think of it as a seatbelt for . It’s a safety tool for emergencies, training, and giving your dog space when needed. Plus, it makes a great mental exercise game you can play indoors.

When your dog is properly conditioned to wear a muzzle, it brings relief, not discomfort or stress—even in tough situations.

Tired of your dog dashing out every time the door opens? 🚪
Set clear expectations and teach them what to do instead of door dashing!

Start with basic commands like ‘sit’ and ‘stay’ to manage them at the door. Keep a leash on during training for safety and to gently guide them back if they try to dart. You can also incorporate crate training to create a safe space where your dog can go and relax before you open the door, reinforcing a calm routine.

Practice these skills consistently in various settings to ensure they stick, and enjoy more peaceful entrances and exits!

Training your dog can be challenging, especially without expert guidance.
Let us guide you in building better door manners!

From plastic bags to motorbikes, some dogs—especially puppies—can be easily startled. Even confident dogs may hit a ‘fear’ phase, but don’t worry! Here's how you can guide them through it:

1️⃣ Manage the distance: Keep triggers far enough away for your dog to feel comfortable, then gradually decrease the distance.

2️⃣ Redirect focus: Use rewards to shift their attention to you, away from the distractions.

3️⃣ Use the 'place' command: When your dog is in their ‘place,’ they may feel safer, making it easier for them to settle.

4️⃣ Practice leashing at home: Leashing helps your dog learn to settle and stay calm, so they can relax in any setting.

Guide your dog through scary moments with patience and practice!

That's why it's crucial to help your dog get comfortable with different people. Watch the video to learn more!

Reward-based training can only be effective when…
✅ Your dog likes the reward!
✅ Your dog gets it!

Rewards are most often treats, but they can also be toys, games, verbal praise, social interaction, and environmental rewards like sniffing on walks.

The choice of rewards should depend on your dog’s , the situation, and their mood. You have to ensure your rewards provide enough to reinforce the behavior you want. Figure out what your dog’s ❤️ language is — this can change as they mature or in different environments.

It’s also crucial that you are about which behavior you’re rewarding, and stay with it. This can avoid confusing your dogs and help them quickly distinguish between desired and undesired behaviors.

🧡 Understand your dog’s threshold and make sure the experience is positive.
💚 Set realistic expectation and focus on your priorities.
💙 If your dog takes time to warm up, avoid places like dog parks and dog cafes.

Don’t do this alone! You can surely benefit a lot more when working with a professional dog trainer or behaviorist.
